The Write Life

JANUARY 9, 2024

Your dog is the smartest and cat is the cuddliest. Surely, you have a tale or two about the time Charlie ate the couch cushions, or Daisy unboxed the UPS delivery. Pets can be a wonderful inspiration, and there are many outlets looking for your stories. Study the magazine or website to get a feel for the tone and content. If you’re writing an expository feature, be sure to research fully and use accurate citations.

Yesssss! The schedule gods have given you a break, and you have a rare hour to actually sit down and write. You could produce an entire blog post! An article! Maybe even a short book chapter! Your Google research is all done, so all you need to do now is write. You apply ass to seat, fire up your laptop, start typing … … and it’s like watching a video in slo-mo.

The Write Life

JANUARY 9, 2024

It may be fun to wax lyrical about the nostalgic days of click-clacking away at a typewriter or scrawling your novel into a leather-bound journal, but those romantic ideals are impractical for the modern-day writer. Nowadays, a writer’s laptop is their best friend. Like any best friend, a good laptop should be there for you through thick and thin, from bustling airports to cozy coffee shops, from the triumph of a strong WiFi signal to the heartbreak of no available outlets.

Don’t sabotage your year by blaming yourself or your team for something that isn’t working well or punishing everybody with an “improvement” plan. Instead, take this less-traveled path to success.

Writing a paper in college can feel daunting, but luckily, many writing assignments come with a rubric—clear descriptions of what your professor believes demonstrates competent writing and proficiency in research, structure, and mechanics. Writing rubrics are a helpful tool to keep your writing aligned with the assignment and to understand exactly what your professor is looking for so you can score well on your paper.

As a teenager, I had it all planned out – I’d be a freelancer. I’d make a lot of money. And I’d be a digital nomad for life. I have been freelancing since I was 19. At times I made a lot of money. But I’ve never become a digital nomad.  I made different choices, and I don’t regret that. Yet, I still have the travel bug, and as a freelancer I have great freedom.

Creating content takes lots of time and effort – and if you’re too busy to do it yourself – it’s not exactly cheap to outsource, either. Yet, consistently releasing high-quality content is necessary to compete with other online businesses, both on search engines and social media platforms. Ever since the official launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, AI content tools have taken the marketing world by storm.
